Chapter 249 - Annoyance with Spatial Locks

A tremor shook the entire Devilish Abode, the beings inside it feeling a destabilizing of space as something akin to the most horrendous bomb had exploded.

In a particular cavernous space, space was trembling as it weaved back together, the power concentrated at one location having been too tremendous for the spatial laws of this world and causing it to fold.

In the space where a large temple and a black coffin used to stand, sandy white particles of bones were all that remained as Noah let out calm breaths. He saw the burst of skill books and cores erupt from the grounded skeleton that was the Devilish Time Unveiler as he confirmed the schemer's death!

Through [Insight], he had seen that one of the fastest ways he could have taken down the thousand-year-old cultivator quickly and without waiting for any unforeseeable events was to attack while he was trying to stabilize his cultivation at the Saint Realm.

Begin with a single attack that would weaken and reduce his defenses without his knowledge, and then use the killer combination of actually stopping time, however briefly, to unleash a concentrated attack from all sides!

The result was the death of an old schemer who still did not fully know what was going on.

In his regal Arch Demon Lord form, Noah went forward and collected the loot as he used [Devouring] on the remaining crushed up bones as he quickly perused the memories of the Devilish Time Unveiler. He made it his goal to take this being down not just as a payback, but also because it was a cultivator that was proficient in the Law of Spacetime.

He wanted to peek at the memories and skills, as well as possibilities to the problem that he always faced when he was in the most danger- not being able to teleport because someone more powerful had locked space!

His mind moved quickly as his body automatically disappeared into the Time Space of the Spiritual Land, knowing that combing through the memories of a thousand-year-old schemer would take some time, and there were still other beings in this Devilish Abode.

---

The Magus leading the expedition into the Devilish Abode, Black Serpent, was warily sensing the surrounding space that had begun to tremble and destabilize as he chased down a group of cultivators from the Time Immemorial Sect.

His target was actually the group led by Elder Dan, the actual Elder Dan of the Time Immemorial Sect that had not been taken down by Noah this time!

The other Elders and Legacy Disciples with them were frantically throwing out attacks as they defended themselves against the power of the Saint Ranked Black Serpent, the image of a corporeal death serpent becoming rapidly solid as it bore its powerful jaws towards them.

"Otherworlder, the Time Immemorial Sect will hunt you down like the dog that you are!"

Elder Dan spat out as he continued to send messages for help through his medallion, but the sain ranked Grand Elder Amos could not find them!

Would this really be where the great Elder Dan faced his death? A terrifying thought passed through the Elder's mind as he looked at the other Transcendent Realm Elder and the disciples they protected. Their power could not stand against a Saint Realm individual, and thus it was very likely that they would face death in the hands of these unscrupulous otherworlders!

Elder Dan was unreconciled as his body shone brightly, ready to give it his all as he valiantly turned around to face the enemies while he gave the others a chance to escape.

"Elder Dan!"

"Elder!"

Heartfelt shouts rang out as the valiant Elder dashed towards the group of Magi, seeing Black Serpent's huge form chuckling as it opened its jaws wide to swallow him up.

'Sigh, forgive me Grand Elder.'

He let out a valiant shout as he prepared for death, but death would not be coming for him today.

OONG!

Space trembled as a small black dot appeared between the forces of Magi and Elder Dan, and from this small black dot, numerous Dragonoid heads erupted out.

It was a scene of horror as the terrifying heads were mixed with all sorts of colors, the only issue is that there were too many of them! They stretched out from the black dot endlessly in long lines as their poisonous jaws weaved in the space towards the terrified Magi who found out they could not move!

Around them, transparent cages were locking them in space, making them completely unable to move as the numerous Dragonoid heads attached to continuously strengthening necks neared them and snapped their jaws shut, forever swallowing their bodies.

"OOOOH!"

Black Serpent let out a wild shout as he tried to summon the Serpent Ancestor, but found to his horror that he could not activate his abilities. Without his knowledge, something else besides the tens of Dragonoid heads that had stretched out from the small black dot in space, rapidly constricting his large body as he felt himself losing control every second.

"Wai-"

CRUNCH!

Numerous bones cracked in throughout his body as the last thing he saw was enveloping darkness from numerous poisonous jaws.

Elder Dan's heart trembled as he viewed the monstrosity in front of him, not being able to move as he observed the tens of ferocious heads that were attached to powerful and even more numerous tentacles. An absurd monstrosity that only released these features from a single black dot in space had completely devoured the party of multiple Magi who held a Saint Realm Magus in the lead!

Elder Dan did not know what to do as he tried to calm his fear, seeing the many long heads eerily turn their eyes towards him as the tens of tentacles rapidly receded into the small black dot.

"Th-thank you, Esteemed Sir!"

Elder Dan stuttered out a reply as he felt the auras of the other Elders of the Time Immemorial Sect, quickly going to join them as they tried to get out this monstrosity's side as soon as possible.

The monstrosity, or really Noah, looked forth curiously as he wondered why the Magi he had saved before were hunting down cultivators. Seeing their voracious gazes as they hunted down those weaker than them, he simply moved and wiped them out as he tested one of his first Saint Ranked skills he synthesized during his month-long training.

From the combination of the Transcendent rank [The Calamitous Leviathan] and [Violet Immemorial Second Stage- Sands of Time], and later with the combination of the Transcendent+ [Violet Immemorial Third Stage-Cage of Time], he had been able to produce a skill that was proficient in controlling space while dealing a tremendous amount of damage from an obscene amount of heads and tentacles.

SAINT [Aberrant Saint] :: From a single point in space, the terror of a calamitous monstrosity blooms. Capable of growing up to 100 heads and tentacles that strangle and hold the user's enemies in powerful Spatial Locks the moment they are discovered as targets.

It was a powerful skill, one that he would soon be able to combine into a Saint+ skill the moment he made the time to train in the Time Space some more. His gaze was on the ability of Spatial Locks as he smiled first at the abundant amount of information he had found from the memories of the Devilish Time Unveiler.

Secrets about the powers of the World of Cultivation that very few beings knew, as well as a possible solution that would lead him to obtain the power that would allow him to break free of a space being locked down, something that had occurred twice to him now and nearly cost him his life.

He perused the memories of the beings from the Magus world first as he already looked ahead to future plans. They would involve one of the three Supreme Sects of the World of Cultivation, the sect where the Devilish Time Unveiler originated, and the place which would provide Noah with the power he was looking for!
